Venezuela
“The millionaires, and anyone that was rich, were ‘the enemy of people’ in Venezuela,” Elizabeth Rogliani, a young woman who left Venezuela for America in 2008 and lives in Florida, said of her former country
Rogliani says she sees a parallel in politicians’ frequent attacks on “millionaires and billionaires.”
“Division between the classes was something that Hugo Chavez wanted – to make sure that poorer sectors of society hated anyone that was wealthy,” she said.

Nicaragua
Several Latin American countries have seen an exodus of people fleeing to escape socialism. Nicaragua is one.
“What we see now has all the same characteristics as I saw there … violence, looting, damaging private property,” Roberto Bendana
Bendana left Nicaragua after revolutionary socialists took power in 1981 and confiscated his father’s coffee farm.
“Even the flags! The protesters here in the U.S. are using the red and black flags,” Bendana said, noting Nicaraguan socialist revolutionaries used the same colors.
Cuba
More than a million Cubans have fled to the U.S. since Fidel Castro came to power in 1959. Among them was Maximo Alvarez.
“I heard the promises of Fidel Castro and I can never forget all those who grew up around me … who suffered and starved and died because they believed those empty promises,” he said in his GOP convention speech in August.
“You can still hear the sounds of those broken promises. It is the sound of waves in the ocean carrying families clinging to pieces of wood. It is the sound of tears hitting the paper of an application to become an American citizen,” he added.
China
Lily Tang Williams, an immigrant from China who lives in New Hampshire, personally experienced Chairman Mao’s economic policies and “Cultural Revolution.”
She says she sees parallels with the unrest in American cities today.
“The riots, looters, destruction of properties, it’s so familiar. It’s scary to me because I went through that,” she said. “The people who attack small businesses in cities – you see them take private property, and they say, ‘we deserve this. This is reparations.’ And it’s just – this is the Marxist way. It’s an excuse at the barrel of a gun.”
Recently, protesters in D.C. accosted people at a restaurant and demanded they raise their fist in support of their cause; those who declined were harassed.
Tang Williams took aim at the “silence is violence” concept.
“You cannot even keep silence. You have to publicly agree with them. It’s fundamentally not American,” she said . “The tactics they use are very Marxist and communist. They did this in China. Everybody had to be PC.”
Tang Williams claimed that some Americans were falling for socialism only because they haven’t lived through it.
“People here are allowed to peacefully protest. The protesters do not appreciate the freedom they have in this country. … They have not suffered from hunger, real poverty,” she said.

So, if we compare their policy proposals and ideologies of Biden-Harris would be similar to Trump-Pence and therefore not socialist? Oh then lets just flip a coin and not have an election since they are pretty much the same on the socialism scale. Please read the testimony of the people in the article and tell me what you think.
